"The Ninth Gate" is one of the best films ever made about the devil.
I cant recall any other film that presents the supernatural nature of evil in such a great atmosphere. And it is no surprise as is a Polanski's finest work, and Johny Depp does one of his greatest performance.
You don't see the devil in that film. It's only a weird obsession and an attractive idea for some kind of people. The Devil is shy and keeps his gates closed for anyone unless for the one. The Ninth Gate is just another game that must find a winner. That movie is so poetic. I have seen that film 3 or 4 times and never felt bored.
The ending of the film is perfect.
